For our almost daily Santory ice cream during our holiday in Lanzarote last year, we went to the Dulcería Hernández, located in the Calle de Nuestra Señora del Carmen.

In fact, we visited them so often, they even started asking where other members of our group were if we didn’t all go there together!

For many, it is probably an ice cream just like any other.

For me, it is a part of being on holiday in Lanzarote, because as far as I am concerned I cannot get this ice cream anywhere else.

It is called “Santory”, and at first glance you would be forgiven for thinking it was whipped ice cream fresh from a machine.  Except it’s not.  It comes out of a freezer, even though it is in a cornet.

But the cornet is in a plastic holder and the chocolate sauce is frozen as well, at least at first.

I do not know much about “Santory”, except that it is a product of the Canary Islands and is made by a company called “Kalise”.

It is something different, unlike the ice cream that I am used to, and I look forward to it every time I visit Lanzarote.
